We have used a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to produce edge-on images of dusty galactic disks, allowing a fraction of the dust to be distributed in clumps. Synthetic images of edge-on galaxies have been constructed for different…
Determination of the composition and size distribution of dust grains in debris discs is strongly dependent on constraining the underlying spatial distribution of that dust through multi-wavelength, spatially resolved imaging spanning…

Radiative transfer models were developed to understand the optical polarizations in edge-on galaxies, which are observed to occur even outside the geometrically thin dust disk, with a scale height of ~ 0.2 kpc. In order to reproduce the…
We combine a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code with an SPH code, so that -- assuming thermal equilibrium -- we can calculate dust-temperature fields, spectral energy distributions, and isophotal maps, for the individual time-frames…
The discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DG-FEM) is successfully applied to treat a broad variety of transport problems numerically. In this work, we use the full capacity of the DG-FEM to solve the radiative transfer equation in…
The illumination of an accretion disk around a black hole or neutron star by the central compact object or the disk itself often determines its spectrum, stability, and dynamics. The transport of radiation within the disk is in general a…
We present the first numerical radiative transfer simulation of multiple light scattering in dust configurations containing aligned non-spherical (spheroidal) dust grains. Such models are especially important if one wants to explain the…
Aims. Our aim is to estimate the intergalactic medium transmission towards UV-selected star-forming galaxies at redshift 4 and above and study the effect of the dust attenuation on these measurements. Methods. The ultra-violet spectrum of…
We derive the radiative transfer equation for arbitrary stationary relativistic flows in stationary spacetimes, i.e. for steady-state transfer problems. We show how the standard characteristics method of solution developed by Mihalas and…

The assumption of spherical symmetry is not justified for the vast majority of PNe. The interpretation of spatially-resolved observations cannot rely solely on the application of 1D codes, which may yield incorrect abundances determinations…
The treatment of dust attenuation is crucial in order to compare the predictions of galaxy formation models with multiwavelength observations. Most past studies have either used simple analytic prescriptions or else full radiative transfer…

We consider the numerical approximation of the radiative transfer equation using discontinuous angular and continuous spatial approximations for the even parts of the solution. The even-parity equations are solved using a diffusion…
When considering particles produced in reactive plasmas, their basic properties, such as refractive index and grain size often need to be known. They can be constrained both ex-situ, e.g., by microscopy, and in-situ by polarimetry, i.e.,…
